What phone do you have? I just upgraded last night and everything appears to be working like normal. But I did notice that you appear to have a smaller screen size than I do. First I'd try adjusting the display size and see if that helps. You can find that setting (on a pixel) under: Settings -> Display -> Display Size and Text.

You can also try adjusting the accessibility settings and increase or decrease the font size to see if that helps. Which you can find in the same menu above.

Lastly, you might try enabling developer settings and adjusting the smallest width:

Edit: none of these should be final solutions but to help troubleshoot what's wrong. You can then use what you find with these three options to raise a ticket and hopefully the developers can then narrow down the actual root cause.

Their setup sounds similar to mine. But no, only a single service is exposed to the internet: wireguard.

The idea is that you can have any number of servers running on your lan, etc... but in order to access them remotely you first need to VPN into your home network. This way the only thing you need to worry about security wise is wireguard. If there's a security hole / vulnerability in one of the services you're running on your network or in nginx, etc... attackers would still need to get past wireguard first before they could access your network.

But here is exactly what I've done:

1. Bought a domain so that I don't have to remember my IP address.
2. Setup DDNS so that the A record for my domain always points to my home ip.
3. Run a wireguard server on my lan.
4. Port forwarded the wireguard port to the wireguard server.
5. Created client configs for all remote devices that should have access to my lan.

Now I can just turn on my phone's VPN whenever I need to access any one of the services that would normally only be accessible from home.

P.s. there's additional steps I did to ensure that the masquerade of the VPN was disabled, that all VPN clients use my pihole, and that I can still get decent internet speeds while on the VPN. But that's slightly beyond the original ask here.

Yes it would. In my case though I know all of the users that should have remote access snd I'm more concerned about unauthorized access than ease of use.

If I wanted to host a website for the general public to use though, I'd buy a VPS and host it there. Then use SSH with private key authentication for remote management. This way, again, if someone hacks that server they can't get access to my home lan.

A couple of options in my opinion, as I just did this myself:

You can use the CLI tool to "upload" them. You can even do this from the server itself. So upload times would be as fast as your network card can process or however fast your server is, whichever is slower. It does require that you create an API key for the user in question though.

Otherwise you can create an external library and link that to your account. Now Immich will still index this library but it won't move or manage the actual files. I'm not sure though if it looks at those files for duplicates (i.e. if you try and upload the same photo from your phone to the server). This external library will also prevent deleting photos as well, FYI.

There might be other options that I'm not aware of, as I've only been using Immich for about a month now.

Cloudflare? Namecheap?

Not sure exactly what features you're after but the vast majority of them support what you mentioned above.
